Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia says 10 year old girls can marry

[Uncle Wally 2]

Funny how we blew up Iraq because Saddam wasn't cooperative with his oil, but the Saud is and gets a free pass.

Gimme some of that old time religion. Unfortunately the Grand Mufti doesn't realize this is the 21st century.

But I digress. That ain't the USA. It's Saudi Arabia. Who ever said all cultures are equal or that we're all the same? Probably some idealistic idiot that wouldn't know reality if it fell on their head.

Ha, was kind of a shock when I first met my wife, the Venezuelans make a really big deal when a girl reaches her 15th birthday, some even get a second mortgage on their homes to have a really big party. Some may even get a new car, but not quiet old enough to drive it yet. Asked why, wife to be didn't know, just a tradition.

Turns out, it's an Aztec tradition when a girl is considered old enough to bear children at the ripe old age of 15, and a ripe old age it is as their average lifespan was 30 years of age. Columbia and perhaps other Latin American countries also have that tradition. With the well to do families, they certainly don't want their daughters to get knocked up at that young age, just have what seems to me, a very expensive three day long party, then back to the grindstone.

Had to explain to my step daughter, 16 years is a magic age, can get a driver's license, she got that and her own car, and 18 years of age is the magic year for parents, no longer liable for any wrong doing of their kids, then 21 when you can go out and buy a drink. But here, you have to finish college, find the right guy, both of you work your cans off while paying high rent to save for a down payment of a house, then you can think about raising a family.

I find it interesting that the people who defend suicide bomb equipping hamas in the other threads as fighting for islam arent in this thread supporting the grand mufti.

Ha, the biggest disadvantage of marrying a ten year old girl, may be cuter than hell at that age, but grow up to be really ugly. Is that why they force women wear masks?

LOL, she was cute when she was ten, but can't stand looking at her now. Not being racist, we use paper bags here, LOL.

They probably are still recuperating from the thread where they were defending their great pedophile prophet founder for marrying a girl at 6 and then consummating the marriage when she turned the ripe age of 9. I believe the thread was named how great and MORAL Mohammed was.

You don't worship multiculturalism? Don't you know that all cultures are equal? It is blaspheme to criticize. Instead you should embrace all cultures and all people as your own. E Pluribus Unum.

As for me...I could care less what these people do in their own country amongst their own people. It's their culture, their customs, their country, and their people. They can do what they want to over there.

I get riled when they expect to import their customs and culture here expecting us to embrace it or to condone it. It further riles me when my own misguided spineless countrymen believe we should embrace these foreign customs and culture or change to accomodate them even when they are counter to our own long standing values, laws, and societal harmony. All in the misguided notion of absolute multiculturalism.

If you want to come to America to be an American we welcome you. If you come to America to change us and break our laws then stay home.

Unfortunately I see more and more self induced Balkanization here in the USA and we are not stronger or better for it. Maybe richer in $$$, but $$$ does not hold a nation together in the long term.

Who in the US has advocated legalizing pedophilia to appease an immigrant group?

[panamania79 2]

Saudi Arabia's senior-most cleric said girls as young as 10 years old can be married, local media reported on Wednesday.

The powerful Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said in a speech late on Monday that Islamic Sharia law allows the practice of pre-teen girls getting married, and that critics of the practice were doing the girls "an injustice," reports said.

"We hear often in the media about the marriage of minors. We must know that Sharia law is not unjust for women," the cleric is quoted as saying.

"If it is said that a woman below 15 cannot be married, that is wrong. If a girl exceeds 10 or 12 then she is eligible for marriage, and whoever thinks she is too young, then he or she is wrong and has done her an injustice."

...

Saudi human rights groups are fighting the old practice of children being married off to much older men by their parents and seek to establish a legal minimum age for women to be married.
